I stupidly dismissed my Moonstalker runt that had been my faithful companion for 10 levels and was named Grimalkin. The reason I did this was I went to tame a Ghost Saber and realized that I needed a pet to deal with the naga around the area first. So, I dismissed Grimmy...so that I could get a "throw-away" pet for a few minutes. Smart huh? NOT. Poor Grimmy....he was very loyal. Ah well, I did get my Ghost Saber after 4 figurines, and tamed her on the first try. She is now called ShadowFang and is a very dear friend...although I still kick myself for not stabling Grimmy first....
Update:
I got Grimalkin back! That teaches me to read the forums...the thread on stabled pets caught my eye, and I logged in and tried it, and poof! There he was! I'm so happy! I had checked the stable, but it hadn't shown him so I figured I only had Shadow...but when I actually moved her into the stable, Grimmy showed up. So although I wouldn't risk trying this again (ie: dismissing vs stabling), if anyone else has done this and misses their pet...try the stable and move them around.
